Both of these vehicles are exciting Mercedes-Benz options, but they have some differences to consider before choosing one model to drive home in. The Mercedes-Benz C 300 is the more affordable model of the two, but it also offers less features and less space overall. It has a smaller cargo space, as well as less passenger space. The rear seat can especially feel cramped for taller passengers. The E 300, on the other hand, has a higher price tag, but it offers more interior space and comfort as well as some additional standard and available features.
